to the artists, designers and craftspeople who think I call their work kitsch... this is NOT the case, it refers to my own work

Pollie Gregoor & Roosje Chini

Rites de Passage

It was love at first sight, the first time I saw Pollie Gregoor's art a few years ago. This time I had the opportunity to see more of it, and above all meet the artists - he works closely with his partner Roosje Chini - and talk about their fascinating artwork.

the tiny, narrow pigsty is quite a challenge to use as exhibition space

my heart skipped a beat when I saw this...

I'd seen this fascinating sculpture a few years ago in a very dark space. I couldn't stop looking at it wanting to touch and stroke it (I didn't). All the bits and pieces tell a story, these aren't just random objects. They're collected during travels around the world or bear ancient family history and already have a story before being joined.

The small round window was very intriguing and the objects inside have a particular fascinating story.

This wasn't a sculpture just to look at, I felt - and still feel just looking at the picture - an overwhelming vibration radiating from this artwork. I'd love to climb into the structure and explore it from the inside.

Mixed-media, art in many forms, recycling and upstyling are my passions - but I like to look around at many other things and capture them with my tiny camera that never leaves me.
I am not an art critic, I merely want to share impressions of things I've seen.
